Suddenly, two trucks surged out of the nearby tree line fifty feet away from Bad Company's position.

"Oh, Shit!" Marlowe exclaimed.

"Evasive action!" Redford shouted.

Marlowe was able to do a U-turn with the truck and double back the way they came, barely keeping the weight of the gold from tipping the vehicle over.

Then, Bad Company saw him.

Forty feet away stood the Legionnaire, seemingly back from the dead and dressed in brown military garb, though he had his share of bruises. He also held a large weapon in his hand.

"RPG!" shouted Sweetwater.

Once again, Marlowe put on the brakes to turn the truck left. However, as he was turning, the Legionnaire blew apart the road near the front left tire. The truck hit the crater as it continued to turn and flipped twice, coming to a rest with gold blocks pilling onto the ground.

Bad Company climbed out of the truck as the gunfire started. Bullets pinged off metal and gold as the squad took cover behind the overturned vehicle.

Bringing out their side arms, the only weapons they had left, the squad separated half and moved to either side of the truck with Haggard and Sweetwater moving to the back as Redford and Marlowe moved toward the front. Just as Bad Company was about to return fire, a grenade bounced off the truck and landed between the pairs.

Marlowe and Redford both started shouting at once. "Take Cov—"

BANG.

The entire squad was blown two feet out of cover by the blast. Gold rained down around them. Their side arms were lost and all they could hear was the high pitched ringing in their ears due to the explosion.

As the ringing faded, countless bullets began to impact the dirt and the gold around them.

A voice shouted above the chaos. "Hold your fire, you morons! I want to finish this personally!"

A second later, the gunfire stopped.

Bad Company rose to their feet.

Marlowe and Redford slowly moved around the truck with their hands raised.

Haggard stayed behind, supporting Sweetwater who was looking in vain for his glasses that had been lost in the explosion.

"I can't see without my glasses," Sweetwater said lamely.

"And you bitch at me for saying cheesy phrases," Haggard grunted.

"Quiet!" Redford said sharply. He turned to Marlowe as the young soldier gazed at their enemy.
